Demand Puppy Zone gets shut down.

I happened to just stumble upon this post as I was scrolling through social media and it caught my attention because of the pictures I seen along with it. The post said PLEASE SHARE!!

"Yesterday, as I was visiting my daughter at college and driving around Knoxville we passed a sign that said "Puppy Sale". My daughter and I are animal owners/lovers and advocates for the voiceless so we were very concerned. On our way to Walmart we thought about if we should go and check it out. My daughter googled the place and saw the reviews and they were very sad and alarming. We decided to go and check it out and see for ourselves. Im so glad we decided to stop in.

When you walk up to the door there is an immediate sign that reads "puppies have sharp teeth and to hold and pet the puppies are your own risk. (and so forth). Then as soon as we walked in the door the guy behind the desk said "Welcome to Puppy Zone. Our puppies are designer dogs and are bred to be sold here." Honestly I didn't hear anything after he said that cause I was just in shock. The smell from urine and feces was very strong. The store is very stuffy and hot. Half of the puppies, if not more, seemed to be highly drugged. They were laying with their eyes open and would not respond as we spoke to them or shook them to try and get them to respond(pic sent). Two of the Weimaraner puppies had their eyes rolled in the back of their heads(pic sent). I was really concerned about them and tried to get one to move cause he appeared to not be breathing. After attempting to get him to respond and he wouldn't I went and got the male employee and he walked over with me and didn't have a care in the world. He said "oh he is just sleeping." I replied that he was NOT "just sleeping" and that there was something wrong with him. The puppy finally lifted his head for a second then laid it right back down and his eyes went back into his head again.

There were multiple dogs in each bed which was alarming to me in itself. The pups are walking and sleeping on metal grates. The bed full of Shih Tzu's had feces on the metal grate near where the puppies were walking and sleeping(pic sent). None of the puppies had access to food. I have around 15 pics and a couple videos I can send if someone would please reach out to me. Im very concerned about the well being of these puppies.

I have a rescue dog that came from a shelter in Nashville. I have visited that shelter MANY times and I have also volunteered with the shelter. After all my visits to the shelter where my dog is from and visits to other shelters I know first hand that puppies don't sleep and lay like these puppies did at this store. I whole heartily believe these puppies are being heavily drugged.

Last night after I got home to Nashville I researched this store. I found a story where a former employee had stated she was made to put bleach in the water that the pups drank out of the water bottles. She stated that puppies would fall out of the beds and break their legs and not be taken to the vet. She said that puppies were put in cages in the back and not cared for. How is this ok?? Its not! Im very concerned about these puppies and their well being.

I have emailed several people about this and some of my friends have as well.

Their are multiple pictures of how these dogs are being held and with their eyes rolled into the back of their head. Some not even responding also none of them had access to any food. I need this story to be heard as it seems nothing yet has been done. I demand the people responsible for this get punished along with this or any puppy zone to be shut down. These dogs need our help for we can be their only voice.
